I will $300 soon, things I want to accomplish, but since I know nothing [but want to learn] about cars, need help with.[4thgen 4dr]. The car is ALL stock. Help?!?
1. Increase Acceleration.
2. Make it roar like a beast.
3. Increase Handling
4. Increase performance.
Also, I replaced my Gauge plates [with the printed out ones I made from one of the threads here] And now all my gauges are whacked out. I'm showing empty fuel, i just filled it up, im showing overheat, and my RPMs either start of at 3, or dont go down, just up.
I removed the needles like I was told to. I marked where to put them back in, now its all fucked, what can I do to fix it?

Well for $300 there is no way your going to get all of those categories unless you pay a friend $300 to steal a bunch of shit for you :rofl:
First of all, what model is your 4g4d. If it is a DX or LX I would say swap from DPFI to MPFI.

Ok you have a d15b2 (im guessing since you said its stock) with dual point fuel injection. The EX 4 doors (and Si hatchback/crx's) have what is called multi point fuel injection which allows your engine to get more fuel. Performance wise, this would probably be the best bang for your buck. Here is a link http://www.fourthgenhatch.com/mpfi.html
That has everything you need for the swap, and should answer most your questions on the swap.

whats the diff in horsepower between a V-tec, and a 5G Si motor?
btw, my seatbelt light stays on and it beeps, eventually the beeping stops, but the light remains, any thoughts on what might be wrong, or how to turn it off? its getting quite annoying.

K heres the deal bro, you should listen to the people who are tryin to save your ass. SHUT THE FUCK UP. God, fuckin noobs. Youre talkin shit to a guy whos been with us for 2 years now, while yourself has been here for a month. I dont understand how you think youre going to make friends, or even get answers to your questions when you need them if youre going to be such an asshole. Where do you get off talkin shit like this? I mean seriously, ever heard of people having different tastes? Some people like d-series, others like b-series. Its up to them man, leave em alone, its not your job to try to convert people to b20 worshippers. Leave the b-series worship to Siz :grinno: , especially if youre just gonna do it so abrasively, to people who have been around and developed whats called, a good reputation. Grow the fuck up before posting again dick. Seriously, posts like this are absolutely retarded, and they take away from the meaning of the thread. Someone, shut this thing down, or delete this assholes posts, get this thread back on topic.

I started this thread, and my question has been well answered.The 5g Si motor (d16z6) has vtec and 125hp.
I trust 90civicracer, so im going to go ahead with the 5g Si motor. Man...thats a step up from 70 HP. *rubbs hands together*..I think first, I might want to do a DPFI to a MPFI swap. What do you say?
